Cask at the glenavon pub in Tomintoul. Odd aroma, very acidic, sour malt. Flavour is malty, quite acidic, a light hint of smoke, caramel notes but not sweet. Interesting but not my cup of tea.

A lightly hazed golden ale with a thin creamy lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, light treacle, OK. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity biscuit malt with grassy British hops, light mineral notes, pleasant. Cask at The Gate Clock (Wetherspoons)

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a rich ruby with a medium sized off-white head. The aroma has autumn fruits and malts. In the mouth it is sweet with an underlying fruitiness, freshly sliced apples, raisins, some caramel and hints of spices. Texture is a little watery. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. Not bad at all.
